 and if they have the same dire effects, then the various types of invasions are equal and Johnson is correct.

Is the above point that the German invasion of Poland is equal to Putin's invasion of Ukraine? On the other side of the Atlantic a Trump media spokesperson claimed Putin was aping Trump at his rally, so are Trump and Putin equal, or is Trump superior because his idol Putin aped him? Will Trump wear a red puffer coat to ape Putin who wore powder blue؟

But the British leader was accused by opponents of making a crass comparison by likening Ukraine’s fight against invasion to the U.K.’s exit from the European Union.

What a ***** stupid analogy. Given that the EU is coming together to resist Putin and help the Ukraine.

Boris is my man. Yes, I think BREXIT is stupid, but what is worse is a nuclear winter and I consider Johnson as a key pointman for my future survival on the earth.... literally. I'm not even thinking about BREXIT now and now the world is united for it's fight to survive a real threat to our existence by Putin.

Johnson is becoming even less coherent these days. He’s always been more about rabble-rousing than appealing to common sense, but I think even some of his shrinking base of supporters had a bit of wtf going through their heads here.

So, refusing to be bullied into accepting the trashing of yet another international agreement (negotiated in Minsk, adopted by the UNSC as a full fledged resolution) by the US is the BEGINNING of an age of intimidation, according to Johnson.

I guess he agrees with those who saw the Black Lives Matter protests as the beginning of an age of racism against Whites.

PM Johnson is absolutely right. Maybe it's good that things are coming to a head now because what's happening to Ukraine should serve as a wake up call for the entire planet. Also, the fact that China knew this was probably going to go down just prior to the Olympic Games when Putin visited China raises other serious questions and concerns. It's definitely wake up time.

Johnson - Russian victory in Ukraine would bring ‘new age of intimidation’: 

The premier is correct, he knows too well about his nation's history.

British old empire of intimidation lasted 1.5 century, and it must still be fresh in his memory for him to make such assertion..

Who exactly?

so are Trump and Putin equal, or is Trump superior because his idol Putin aped him?

No, they’re not equal in any capacity one wants to annex a sovereign nation and will kill anyone in his way, the other believed that wars were unnecessary and we should always have a decent dialogue with our foes.

Decent dialogue is calling someone nicknames and threatening to bomb them back into the stone age?

The same person who this week was heard boasting he’d told putin the US would bomb Moscow if putin attacked Ukraine?

Decent dialogue?

As an example, he said British voters opted in a 2016 referendum to leave the EU “because they wanted to be free to do things differently and for this country to be able to run itself.”

But he's opposed to Scotland holding a referendum to leave the UK. Somewhat hypocritical.
